ing 9; in the innerhub 1. Theiouter end 10 if of theopening 9 is also tapered or; conical .to receive tapered double conical sleeve 11 mounted on 5 and interposed between the inner and; outer hubs 1 and 2. [The outer,

hub is provided-with central opening 12 having inner and outertapered portionslii and 14 receiving the outerqtapered portion the inner end of an oppositely ofthe sleeve 11 and an outer tapered sleeve the outer end of the spindle 5. 5 By thisrconstruction the wind wheels are securedon-the projecting portion of the spindle and maintained in spaced relation, andalso enabled to rotate freely. The inner and outer hubs, which-are preferably rectangular in cross haveflat rectangular side with reve'rsely arranged faces, are provided 17 and 18,,in

diagonally disposed grooves manner similar to the blades of a propeller and adapted, when moved more or less rapidl through secured upon vwhich are secured the inner ends of blades the air, to cause the wheels Y to rotate in opposite directions. The inner wheel preferably the outer wheel, which is of lessdiaineter than the inner wheel, rotates to the left, but the blades may be arranged in any other suitable manner and may beeof any desired size and form and any number of wind wheels may, of course, be employed.

The toy is equipped with a clamp composed of fixed and movable sections 21 and 22, provided with bifurcated ends 23 and 24, which embrace the inner portion of the bar or handle 6. The bar or handle 6 is preferably rectangular in cross section, and the sides of the bifurcated end of the section 21 are suitably secured to the bar orhandle 6. The bifurcated end of the other section slidably embraces the bar or handle 6 and permits the section 22 to move toward and from the fixed section 21, the bifurcated end 2-4 forming an interlocking connection and adapted to prevent movement of the section 22 laterally of the bar or handle 6. The sections, which are provided with registering grooves to form an opening for the reception of a handle rotates to the right and.

the space between the inner and outer curved portions beingsuflicient to permit the opposite portions of'the radiator cap 29 to extend through the jaws, which engage the said cap at opposite'sidesiiof the center of the same. When the-clamp is applied to the radiator cap of an automobile, it extends upwardly therefrom, and the handle 'or bar extends upwardly and outwardly at an inclination, the bifurcated portions of the sec: tions being beveled to setthe handle or member at the desired inclination.
